Electrical power systems usually cover large geographical areas and transmission facilities, that are incessantly increasing. These power systems when exposed to different environmental conditions may cause severe faults to occur on the existing system. In this paper, the need for transposing the lines for analysing the faults under phase and sequence frame of reference has been described. Currents flowing in any one conductor will induce voltage drops in the other successive conductors and these may be unequal even though the currents are balanced which is highly objectionable. In order to minimize the effect of line unbalance, there is a chance of interchanging the conductor positions at their regular intervals along the line, termed Transposition. The objective of this paper is to show the effect of transpositions in producing equal series self and mutual impedances in the phase and sequence frame of reference for a chosen 400 kV, double circuit, single ground wire tower configuration. It is also shown that, by applying nine transpositions technique, the effect of mutual sequence coupling between the two circuits is eliminated completely and balanced phase impedance matrix of 6X6 is obtained. The calculations of overhead lines for different tower configurations was carried out using digital computer program MATLAB and results obtained conventionally shows an excellent resemblance in obtaining balanced phase and sequence impedance matrices. Thus, the same simulation can be used for any tower configuration.
Today, modern power system carries very high demand from the load side. Thus, they cause the stability problem. This paper investigates the problem related to the voltage stability in the power system and controlling the power flow through transmission line using a FACT controller known as Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). In this paper, the FACT controller investigates the effects for controlling the active and reactive power as well as damping power system oscillation that occur because of the heavy loaded system. Under heavy loaded conditions, there may be insufficient reactive power causing the voltage to drop. This voltage may lead to drop in voltage at various buses. Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controller have been mainly used for various power system stability. In this paper, the authors used a Pulse Oscillation Damping controller with SSSC to damp out the system oscillation and maintain the stability of the power system. The SSSC equipped with source of energy in dc link can supply or absorb the active power to or from the line along with the reactive power flow control. The SSSC is represented by a variable voltage injection with associated transformer leakage reactance and voltage source.
This paper presents the design and implementation of capacitor banks to improve the performance of captive generation in petrochemical industry. Now-a-days many industries faces the problem of maintaining power quality during scheduled power outages. While transferring the load from utility supply to the captive generation supply, facing the problem of voltage dip due to heavy loading condition, affects the system performance. In order to overcome this problem, situation was analyzed and suggested to install capacitor banks at the generator feeder to improve the system performance. Power World simulator is used to analyze the problem and to observe the performance of the system after the installation of the capacitors. The case study of petrochemical industry has been taken to identify the actual problem analysis and its solution.
Deregulation is the major trend in the electric power industry throughout the world, in which restructuring of electricity network was done to access power from any generator to any load and to introduce competition by paving way for the private participants. In this transmission, network plays a very important role. One of the key issues of this restructured power system is, power loss allocation that needs to access what impact of particular generator or load on power system, for which power flow is to be traced along the lines. Tracing of power determine the contribution of transmission users to transmission usage, also helps to meet the revenue expectations and support efficient operation of electrical markets and adequately reimburse owners of transmission assets, in this view tracing of electricity has gained significance. In this paper, power flow tracing using AC power flow and the proportional sharing principle has been attempted, which is Bialek's power flow tracing which comes in two flavors, up-stream and down-stream algorithms by considering gross, net and average power flows in the network. The application of these techniques are explained, tested on IEEE-14 bus system and results are compared between all approaches using MATLAB.
Maximum Energy can be extracted from the popularly used PV systems by using Power conditioner circuit. Power conditioner controlled with FPGA is implemented in this paper. Variable DC power from the solar array [33][34] is converted to constant DC voltage using a Boost converter. FPGA controller adjusts the pulse width to maintain the output voltage of the boost converter constant. The obtained constant DC voltage is converted to 3-phase AC using a 3-Phase 3-level diode clamped inverter. Reference current at AC side of the inverter is controlled by current control MPPT based on six-region operation. 2-stage power conditioner for the Solar PV system is developed in MATLAB Simulink and Xilinx System generator tool. Simulated results are analysed using Bode plot and THD analysis.
